Judge Rules Against Trae tha Truth and for Radio One Houston's 97.9 The Box

, , ,
Judge tells rapper to start his own radio station and says Radio One doesn't have to play his music... but it's not over yet.

According to the site Boombox, Houston rapper Trae tha Truth's attempted injunction against local station 97.9 KBXX The Box has been rejected by a local judge. Trae's lawsuit accuses the station of issuing a ban on his music, and charges morning show DJ Nnete Inyagumia with ruining his image through the accusation that he incited violence that caused injuries to eight people at a 2009 "Trae Day" concert.

The May 14 hearing was called "impossibly broad" by district judge Bill R. Burke Jr. The judge claimed there was no logical way to enforce the radio station play his music and encouraged Trae to just start his own radio station at one point. This was just the preliminary hearing for the trial. It will resume on August 16. Read more from Boombox...

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
